Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a band-pass filter for a vibration to be simply structured and obtain a vibration sensor with a low cost and a high mass-productivity by forming a plurality of bending vibrators with different lengths in a laminated piezoelectric device and adding up the output signals of the vibrators. CONSTITUTION:Three U-shaped slits 2 with different sizes are formed by laser beam machining or the like in a piezoelectric device 1 composed of two plate-shaped piezoelectric elements 1a and 1b having axes of polarization in the directions of their thicknesses and adhered to each other. Portions surrounded by the slits 2 form cantilever-structured bending vibration mode vibrators 3, 4 and 5. A stationary member 6 wherein grooves 3', 4' and 5' formed in portions against which the bending vibrators 3, 4 and 5 abut, respectively, is fixedly attached to the piezoelectric device 1 and the circumference of the bending vibrators is fixed. The upper and lower surfaces of the bending vibrators 3, 4 and 5 and adhered surfaces are provided with electrodes (not shown) and output signals are outputted from the upper and lower surface electrodes. Since their lengths are different from one another, the bending vibrators 3, 4 and 5 have different resonant frequencies and different frequencies at which output signals for vibration take maximum values. By adding up the output signals of the bending vibrators, only the prescribed band of the vibration can be detected.

Conventional technology Conventionally, piezoelectric sensors that detect elastic vibrations in a vibrating object have been either resonant type sensors that match the resonance frequency to the natural frequency of the vibrating object and detect only a specific frequency component, or non-resonant sensors that detect vibration components in a predetermined frequency range. BACKGROUND ART A rectangular bonded piezoelectric vibrator of a resonant type, which has a cantilever dyed structure in a bending vibration mode and is designed to improve sensitivity particularly at low frequencies, is widely known.

In the case of a vibration sensor with a cantilever-dyed structure, it is difficult to realize the fixing condition of fixing one end of the vibrator.
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 0923, a bending vibrator with a cantilevered dye structure, which is a vibration detection part, is fabricated by cutting a groove in a disk-shaped bonded piezoelectric element, and the bending vibrator is attached to one end of the bending vibrator. In some cases, the bonded piezoelectric element is integrated with a disk and has a structure in which the peripheral portion of the disk is fixed and supported, thereby stabilizing the fixing conditions.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Stable characteristics can be obtained by fixing the periphery of the bending vibration mode vibrator built into the bonded piezoelectric element, but the mechanical loss coefficient Q of the bending vibrator is high. For a constant vibration input, the output voltage change is large near the resonance point.
There was a problem in that even if the detected vibration frequency shifted slightly, the output voltage changed significantly.A method to solve the problem was a structure in which two plate-shaped piezoelectric elements with the polarization axis in the thickness direction were bonded together. It is composed of a plurality of rectangular bending vibration mode vibrators of different lengths formed by providing cutouts in a bonded piezoelectric element, and a fixing member that fixes the periphery of the bending vibrator. Electrodes are provided on the upper and lower surfaces and the bonding surface.

The individual bending vibrators 3.4.degree. 6 have different resonant frequencies because of their different lengths, and the frequencies at which the output signals for vibration are maximized are shifted. Since the resonance frequency is inversely proportional to the square of the length of the bending vibrator, it can be set to a predetermined resonance frequency. Therefore, by adding the output signals of the bending vibrators set to a predetermined resonance frequency, only a predetermined vibration band can be detected. In other words, a vibration bandpass filter can be constructed easily and inexpensively. Therefore, even if the detected vibration frequency shifts slightly, the output voltage does not change significantly. FIG. 2 is an example showing a change in output voltage with respect to frequency of the vibration sensor in the same embodiment. Three bending vibrators with different lengths 3°4.
The output characteristics of 6 are shown as 3 &+ 4 & + 5 A,
The solid line indicates the characteristic obtained by adding the outputs of the three bending vibrators. Since the Q of the flexural oscillator is thus high, a pantone filter is obtained by adding the output signals of a plurality of flexural oscillators having slightly different resonance frequencies.
